Chapter 438: Year-end visit
Well, these are things that can only be understood but cannot be spoken, and ordinary people don't care so much, as long as the movie is good. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info So North America finally won 80 million box office, and overseas won 70 million box office, which only surprised Li Xu a little.
If only more...... How is it possible, do you really think that if you casually move a popular movie from another region to another place with a completely different cultural base, you will definitely be able to sell well?
Li Xu spent a lot of effort, spending money and finding people to get to this point, and it was still not perfect - of course, as mentioned above, not many people can notice.
And even in her own harem, Zhang Aijia has this opinion, and she is not firm, she is more familiar with Hong Kong movie style among all women.
All in all, if you have the opportunity, you can continue to move, but you still need to spend money to find someone, and it is quite risky.
Of course, that's all for later, but now, there's one thing that needs to be done first.
"That's all you want, Mr. Li?" asked Li Xu with a middle-aged white man in a suit and leather shoes, sitting in front of his desk.
"That's pretty much it," Li Xu shrugged, "This is a topic I've been trying to study recently, so it should be fine, right?"
"Hmm...... Of course," the other grinned, as if the corners of his mouth were twitching due to a cold, "it should be fine." ”
"Well, time. Li Xu asked remindedly.
"It shouldn't be too long, I think...... After Thanksgiving, you can come up with a plan. The other party replied.
"Thank you very much, Attorney Johnson. Li Xu immediately stood up.
"It is our pleasure to serve you. No matter how outrageous his demands were, the lawyer regained his professional smile after standing up.
As a top wealthy family, the Li family naturally has its own law firm, and there is more than one, these lawyers will not occupy a position in the top ten lawyers, but they are definitely talents who are proficient in law.
So, he asked one of them to help design the framework of the harem council.
This kind of thing is normal, and for law school graduates, the most glorious thing is probably to write their own regulations into law books and even the constitution.
They're controlling the country! they're manipulating the country! they're commanding the country!
It's as addictive as smoking X, otherwise you would think that 30 years from now, some legal people in some countries will be happy.
So, designing the framework of the harem council is a piece of cake for them.
Of course, even if they formulate it, it is not finished, and when the time comes, they will have to let the women appraise it, run it, feed back the specific problems, and then revise it.
In short, it will take a long time, after all, any system is carried out by people, and there is no perfect system, unless all emotions and all sensibility are abandoned, and only reason is left.
When the prototype is almost there, the harem can be expanded a little more, and a few women worthy of shaping can be accepted, and they will always be sent to Japan for "training".
So—
"Have you thought about it, Jenny, will you continue to be an actor or do you want to learn something else?" was still the office of Imagination Pictures, and not long after lawyer Johnson left, a beautiful and lovely girl came.
With big braids, a fleshy face, and a pair of eyes that are very smart, he just sat there upright, looking a little indifferent.
"Or ...... Let's put it on a show. She replied in a low voice.
"Very good, then I will arrange for you to learn some basic acting skills and let people take the time to investigate, understand?" Li Xu nodded and said, "You are very aura in "Once Upon a Time in America", but that doesn't mean that you will be like this in the future. ”
"Yes, sir. The girl nodded.
"So be it, Miss Jennifer Connelly, you may leave. Li Xu smiled slightly.
The girl raised her head suddenly, her light green eyes were a little surprised, and a little overwhelmed.
"What, there is still something?" Li Xu asked deliberately.
"Of course not, sir. Jennifer jumped to the ground and bowed, then quickly left the room with a sigh of relief.
Li Xu shrugged his shoulders, and then was slightly unhappy, what is the SB who was on the set of "Once Upon a Time in America" and scared her with excerpts from the novel "The Godfather"?
In the original novel of "The Godfather", there is a story of Lori and the producer, so I won't say much about the specific content. Although some people always say that the original author, Mario Puzo, is just hearsay, but in fact...... Hehe.
However, Li Xu actually hates that someone plays the plot of "The Godfather", what kind of jokes, and such a rude method can be used? Although the United States is not Japan, it cannot be summoned and waved away, but if you want a little girl, it is just a little troublesome.
It's like Jennifer Connelly, with a little bit of trickery, her parents sent her to the West Coast to live and study by default. What about the clothing dealer? What about the antique dealer? It was not enough to see it at all in front of the real upper level, so Li Xu didn't show up at all, and just found someone to do it.
At present, Jennifer has lived in Los Angeles for two years, and the guardian agent is Li Xu's person, and she also played the young Deborah in "Once Upon a Time in America" released at the beginning of this year.
Of course, it's no problem to raise it for another two years, she will understand that as long as it is Mr. Li's fancy, there is no possibility of escaping, but ...... Who will she replace in the future?
Not to discuss this, as always, Thanksgiving was spent at the manor in San Francisco, except that grandpa is gone, everything else is business as usual.
Then, Li Xu followed Edward Sr. to embark on a journey across the United States - in fact, starting from San Francisco, taking a plane to some big cities, meeting some people and so on.
Most people haven't seen it, but there are some that are familiar, such as the Clinton couple again at a party in Arkansas. This guy is indeed capable, and he still sits firmly in the governor's position, and if nothing else, he will sit until '92.
Despite the luck of this guy, to be honest, the rapid economic development of the United States in the mid-90s was largely built on the corpse of the Soviet Union, but it would be ridiculous to say that this guy has no ability at all and is completely on the Hillary family.
Not to mention anything else, although this guy is a good woman, he is very aware of the occasion and knows very well what he can do when and when. Li Xu took Diana with him, but Clinton remained polite throughout the whole process, did not show the slightest other look, and even parted as soon as he shook hands.
And not only for Diana, but also for all the female guests at the party, even if Hillary Clinton was not around at times, even if a few beautiful women were clearly the playthings they brought.
So, Lewinsky's incident, if it weren't for the bad luck, meeting such a girlfriend wouldn't have been exposed at all. It's also important to say that the young, non-fat version of Lewinsky is actually pretty good-looking, and this Bill's vision isn't that bad.
Generally speaking, no one who can be in the position of president of the United States is too stupid, and Clinton is extremely good at receiving people and things, and the same is true of George W. Bush.
Li Xu and his father went to Arkansas first, and then to Texas, so it happened to compare the two future presidents one after the other, and the result was that Clinton and Bush Jr. were on par with each other when it came to receiving people and things.
And the president of the United States, to be honest, has such a basic skill as receiving people and things is enough, anyway, there are think tanks on other things, and some things are not something that the president can control, such as the Treasury Department.
These two had met at their grandfather's funeral, but at that time, Li Xu was busy with his father, so he just greeted them face-to-face, so he was able to communicate officially.
Although these two guys may not be able to become president in the future because of the presence of this butterfly, it is always okay to make some investments now.
As for other acquaintances along the way, Buffett, Paulson, Greenspan, Pandiet, needless to say. Of course, those who are not familiar with it are either members of Congress, investment banking executives, and industrial executives.
"Look at you, you're finally going to send our lad to the Big Motor?" Parker Gilbert teased old Edward in private.
"I think so, but he seems to be more willing to deal with Hollywood. Old Edward shrugged helplessly.
"It's not the right time to do it, otherwise I'd be in an awkward position. Li Xu shrugged his shoulders, indifferent shrugs.
This status certainly does not refer to the son of Edward Sr., nor to become a partner or anything — now on the board of directors — but to his Japanese ancestry.
In this era when Japan's economy is catching up with the United States in an all-round way, and the Japanese are proudly bouncing around the world, this is really too hateful. What's more, something is bound to happen next year, which Li Xu knows, old Edward knows, and Gilbert also knows.
And before the bubble bursts, there will inevitably be a false upsurge, at that time, the Japanese bought all kinds of purchases, even the Rockefeller Building, Li Xu was in Damo at that time, and the hatred would only be more fierce.
Even if people don't say anything to his face for his father's sake, it's hard to say it behind him, and maybe he will disobey the yang and the yin, which is really not beautiful.
"I'll talk about it after I've done some results. Li Xu then said again.
"The CDO is great, and I've heard you have something better. Gilbert said with a smile.
"Even without me, there will still be people who think of such a thing as a CDO," Li Xu smiled meaningfully, "The Solomon brothers are developing and growing with this." ”
"It's okay, they're a threat, but it's only a short-term threat. Gilbert waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned.
Even with Li Xu's reminder and the early development of CDO, Salomon Brothers has still come from behind in recent years to show a posture that surpasses other investment banks.
Well, the tradition of Damo, never stand on the cusp.
